Rita, there are pillows out there specifically designed for CPAP users, but before you look at them, try turning you current pillow so it is horizontal rather than vertical (up and down, rather than across) that way there is less space for the pillow to knock your mask and you use the pillow you have are used to.

I did fine with my regular pilow.  I like a flat pillow and my regular pillow worked fine and I'm a side and back sleeper.  Then I bought and inexpensive (less than $20) memory foam pillow from target- the kind that has a little smaller section for your neck and a little bigger section for your head.  My mask fits in the groove very nicely.

I like my down pillows. I can punch and scrunch them into any shape needed. I can make a depression for the mask to fit in. They are SOFT and I can pretty much make them as thin or as thick as I need or want simply by squeezing, punching or scrunching. I've usually bought mine at the January or July "white sales" at J C Penney where they are half price or 2 for the price of one.

 

Every now and then (not too often) you can throw them in the washing machine on gentle cycle w/cold water and Woolite and then in the dryer on cool w/a tennis shoe to fluff them up. Has to be cold water, has to be Woolite and has to have the clean tennis shoe in the dryer.
